Answers:
uSE A PLUNGER, DRAINO OR A BIG POT OF WATER. pOUR THE WATER IN SLOWLY, iT MAY APPEAR TO OVERFLOW AT FIRST BUT IT WILL GO RIGHT DOWN. i'VE ALSO HEARD OF PEOPLE USING SOMETHING CALLED A "SNAKE". If all else fails call a plumber.
USE A PLUNGER.DRAINO IS NOT GOING TO HELP.
Buy or rent a closet auger. This tool is made to clear out the trap in the toilet. It has a large cable and a piece of plastic to prevent marring the toilet finish.
If you have a wire clothes hanger straighten it out then bend one end into a hook shape and push it into the hole a little way. turn it and pull this may unclog it. If not try a liquid drain cleaner like Draino or Liquid Plumber.
Stop flushing. You are making it worse. The problem is on down the pipe. A plunger may loosen up the blockage but if it doesn't, the toilet may have to be removed and the drain snaked out.
